Shine Blog Post Details

Theme: Shine · Section type: Blog post page section


The Blog post details section shows a single blog post: its featured image, title, author and date, content, and tags. It also adds share buttons, links to the previous and next posts, and the comments area when your blog allows comments.


Note: This section is part of the blog post template. You can't remove it, but you can hide it and add other sections around it. Each block can be added once: Featured image, Blog title, Share, and Content. You can also add app blocks.

Blog post with the featured image, title, date, and author (Ardent)


What you can do

  • Open a blog post in the theme editor
  • Arrange the parts of the post
  • Add share buttons
  • Show tags and change the text size
  • Let customers comment on posts
  • See what customers see
  • Look up every setting in "Settings reference"
  • Fix common problems



Open a blog post in the theme editor

  1. In the theme editor, open the template selector at the top of the page.
  2. Click Blog posts > Default blog post.
  3. In the left sidebar, click Blog post details.


The template comes with the Featured image, Blog title, and Content blocks.


Arrange the parts of the post

  1. Under Blog post details, drag the blocks to change their order.
  2. To hide a block, click the eye icon next to it.
  3. Click Blog title and choose a Heading size: Headline, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, or H6.
  4. Check Show published date and Show author to show them below the title.
  5. Click Save.


Tip: The featured image is also the preview image when customers share the post link on social media. Use an image that looks good when it's cropped.


Add share buttons

  1. Under Blog post details, click Add block > Share.
  2. Choose a Social media icons style: Filled button or Ghost button.
  3. Drag the block to where you want the buttons, for example below the title.
  4. Click Save.


Show tags and change the text size

  1. Click the Content block.
  2. Check Show tag to show the post's tags below the content.
  3. Drag Body base size to set the text size of the post, from 18 px to 22 px.
  4. Click Save.


You write the post itself in the Shopify admin. The Content block shows that text.


Let customers comment on posts

Comments are turned on per blog in the Shopify admin. The theme shows them automatically.


  1. In the Shopify admin, go to Content > Blog posts > Manage blogs, and click the blog.
  2. Under Comments, choose to allow comments, with or without approval (moderation).
  3. Click Save.


Note: When comments need approval, customers see a message that their comment will appear after it's approved. You approve comments in the blog post in the Shopify admin.


What customers see

  • Post: the featured image, the title with the date and author, and the post content in an easy-to-read width.
  • Tags: below the content when Show tag is on. Customers click a tag to see other posts with that tag.
  • Previous and Next: below the content, buttons open the previous and next posts in the same blog. The first and last posts show only one button.
  • Share: a Share label with icons. On devices and browsers that have a built-in share menu, such as most phones, customers see one share icon that opens that menu. On other browsers, they see Facebook, X, and Pinterest icons that open a sharing window.
  • Comments: when the blog allows comments, customers see the number of comments, the comments (3 per page, with Read more for long ones), and a Leave a comment form with Name, Email, and Comment.
